I am a veteran, I live alone (it's an apartment not a closed off Mom's basement), I go to college twice a week and do the rest of the classes online. I have no social life or close friends or family, I make effort once or twice a month to socialize and experience the "real world" by ubering myself to a bar or "night club" to meet co-workers. The only reason I do this is to meet women. This was my life the past 2 years and will probably be the next 2.
My reasoning is, in the 1960's special effects and video editing were still young. Slowing down the footage by .5X was really one of the only tricks they had. If you speed up the video by the same speed it was slowed, you can negate the "special effect" and see what was actually filmed. Speeding it up 50x wouldn't prove anything unless the film was slowed 50x.
